Screening of «Milada» at the University of Cinema

To mark the anniversary of the execution of Milada Horáková, the Czech human rights activist who stood up to both Nazism and later Communism, CADAL, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Buenos Aires, the Czech Cultural Centre of Argentina, and the University of Cinema organised a screening of the film directed by David Mrnka.

“Milada” was one of Netflix's earliest original productions. The film received ten nominations at the Czech Lion Awards and was selected as the Czech entry for Best Film at the 2018 European Film Awards.
